BBC ON THIS DAY | 21 | 1982: Remember the day a prince was born? About This Site | Text Only 1982: Remember the day a prince was born? Princess Diana gave birth to her first son, Prince William, second in line to the throne back in 1982. He was the first heir to the British throne to be born in a hospital. Diana had a long labour - 16 hours - but the baby prince was safely delivered at 2103 BST, weighing 7lb 1oz (2.65 kg). Crowds gathered outside St Mary's Hospital in London to get a glimpse of the royal newborn. And thousands more went to Buckingham Palace to hear the announcement that Prince William was born. Your memories of Prince William's birth: I was also born on 21st of June 1982. I was the only [baby in] Devon born within the hour. My mother was presented with a christening gown from Boots Ltd to commemorate the birth of Prince William.

Samantha Place, UK I remember being six months' pregnant and watching the football world cup with my husband when the news of Prince William's arrival was flashed on the bottom of the screen. I was thrilled to hear the news. However, my husband was most upset as he could not see the action on the pitch - he said the news could have waited till the game was over. Coral, USA expat I was aged eight and we were all assembled in the school hall to be told the news and to celebrate the birth. Our headmaster stood proudly at his lectern and announced that "a very special baby boy" had been born in London. He explained that this baby boy was different to other baby boys because he had been born to rule over us. He was a Prince and one day, when we were all grown up, he was going to be our King. As children we were all sort of mystified and fascinated by the idea that we had a Prince. I remember wanting to know why there was a Prince and what it was that made him so different and better than other children. I couldn't fully understand why all the grown-ups wanted us to celebrate his birth. To a boy of eight it was like being made to worship him!

It seemed so irrational and illogical. Yet at the same time it somehow made sense and struck a chord. At the end of the afternoon our headmaster said we were all going to sing "God Save The Queen". As I sang I became aware of this quite magical feeling deep down inside. A profound feeling of duty, loyalty and protectiveness towards the baby Prince. This real sense that I loved him as if he were my own younger brother. At that moment I slowly began to realise that I was a monarchist too. Neil Welton, United Kingdom 21 June 1982 was really special to us, especially to me, because that was the day I had a little brother. My brother Lionel was born exactly the same time as Prince William, even to the minute! Many in the family even wanted him to be named William. Later, as he grew up, we used to tease him that God had send two boys to the earth on the same day, one to be the king and the other to cancel out his grandeur and be a commoner - that put Lionel in his place often when he bragged about sharing his birthday with the handsome prince! We still remember the prince when we celebrate Lionel's birthday at home.

Linda George, Dubai, UAE I was also born on this day, within an hour of Prince William. I was featured in the newspapers alongside him. Trula, England My son was not due until the first week of July 1982, hence I had never thought that Princess Diana and I would deliver babies on the same day. But in the early hours of the day my contractions started and Neal was born at 0750. Exhausted and overwhelmed I was completely oblivious to everything during the day until the reporters came to interview me and take mine and Neal's photograph because Neal shared the same birthday as Prince William. It was a double celebration for us! Neelam Aggarwal, England I was in London at the time and I worked late on the 21st. The 22nd was a gloriously sunny day so I walked from my home in Paddington, past St Mary's hospital, to my workplace in Waterloo. On the way I passed the palace. There was a small sign outside the main gate announcing the birth of a son to the Prince and Princess of Wales, so that was how I first heard.

Dale, Australia I remember being 11 years old at summer camp, and I had a British camp counsellor. All the counsellors had an alias, and she called herself "PB" - short for "Princess Bill". He has grown into such a fine young man, his mum would have been so proud. Nancy Roberts, Los Angeles, USA 21 June 1982 was a very special day for me - not only was it the birth of Prince William, it was also the day I took my last 'O' Level exam and it was my 16th birthday. Celebrations all round. Debbie, US It was the World Cup in Spain at the time and I was in Bilbao. The local newspaper was running a front page news digest in English for the benefit of visitors. On the morning after the birth the triumphant headline was: "It has been a child!" One had to read a good bit further down the article to discover that it had in fact been a boy! David Kimmins, UK We remember the day very well.

It was my wife Lin's 21st birthday and we were celebrating with a family meal at the Windbound Inn on the banks of the River Severn. We were enjoying our desert when the waitress came in and announced that Princess Diana had given birth to a baby Prince. We not only toasted Lin's 21st but also the birth of a future King. Richard Lewis, UK I was on board a British Airways Tristar heading from Manchester to Orlando in Florida. I am a real space nut and was off to Cape Canaveral to see the launch of the fourth and final test flight of the shuttle on 27 June 1982. I had written to NASA and they had invited me to view the launch as their guest. Our plane touched down at Orlando at 1740 local time on 21 June. The captain made an announcement to all the passengers that it had just been announced that the Princess of Wales had given birth to a son. Spontaneously all the passengers cheered and erupted into a round of applause.

Richard Hearn, England Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William standing up reveals SHEILA KITZINGER | Daily Mail Online comments Sheila Kitzinger was the natural childbirth activist and author 'who taught British women how to give birth', with generations of mothers following her invaluable advice. Here, in memoirs completed just before her death in April, aged 86, she lays bare her colourful and charmingly eccentric life story. When I was born in 1929 — in Taunton, Somerset — birth was a natural affair. Women gave birth at home so they were on their own territory, even though a family doctor and nurse were normally in attendance. Nor were women expected to remain on a bed. My own mother recalled looping a towel over the corner of her bedroom door so she could pull on it while standing during the second stage of what proved to be a difficult labour. Scroll down for video Happy arrival: Princess Diana and Prince Charles with baby William, pictured in June 1982 Then everything changed. In the Sixties, the American way of birth — dominated by obstetricians who expect women to behave like obedient children — started to colonise the rest of the world.

By the Eighties, most women were expected to give birth on a bed and accept any drugs on offer. As a result, childbirth today is too often treated as a medical crisis. Obstetricians actively manage labour with sophisticated technology and, perhaps, an elective Caesarean section. RELATED ARTICLES Share 9.5k shares I believe that for all but a tiny minority of women, birth need not and should not be like this; and that to turn the process of bringing new life into the world into one in which the woman is a passive patient, rather than an active birth-giver, not only degrades her but makes childbirth more dangerous. The late Diana, Princess of Wales, may have been much criticised by some, but her contribution to reclaiming birth for women actually kick-started radical changes in hospitals. When she was pregnant with Prince William, I was asked to advise the private Lindo wing of St Mary's in Paddington, London, on what equipment it should provide so that she could give birth in an upright position. I said that Charles looked strong enough to hold her. And that is what happened.

It was the first active royal birth — a complete contrast to the Queen's reflection that, with modern anaesthesia, birth had become 'a sleep and a forgetting'. In 2013, Prince William and his wife chose to go to the same hospital. By using self-hypnosis, Kate experienced the birth of Prince George as the spontaneous process for which a woman's body is perfectly equipped. Half a century ago, men were often not with their partners in childbirth, and women had neither the right, nor the knowledge, to make informed choices. Birth was a domestic subject, while men ran the world. In the past 40 years, it has burst those confines and become a political issue that affects us all. This came about because of the energetic action of women, and some exceptional men, who committed themselves to positive change in childbirth. I am one of those women. I had a rather unusual upbringing. My mother, Clare, was a remarkable woman — a midwife, pioneer feminist, pacifist and firm believer in racial equality. She also worked to establish one of the earliest free birth-control clinics in the South-West. My father, Alec, loved and admired her, so he simply went along with what she believed.

She'd become a committed pacifist after her brother was killed in World War I, so many of my early memories are of going to peace rallies. On Remembrance Sunday, we honoured those who'd given their lives for their country — but wore white poppies to signal that we were against all wars. Mother was keen on me developing any talents I might have. From an early age, I was lifted onto the wide sitting room window-sill — my own private stage — to recite poems. This led to me studying voice production and drama, along with my schoolwork, and then teaching both subjects part-time. Happy times: Sheila with her twins Neil and Tess, pictured in 1958 In 1949, I won a place at Ruskin College, Oxford, to study social anthropology — a subject I chose because I wanted to understand human behaviour. I rented a room from a Quaker landlady, Mrs Weatherhead. I once found her making cakes in the kitchen, and milking her breasts very efficiently straight into the mixing bowl. She had plenty, she explained, and didn't want to waste it. The cakes tasted very sweet. In my first year, I discovered sex.

Yatti was a Buddhist from Sri Lanka (then Ceylon). We had sex and curry in his digs on the corner of St John's Street. With stars in my eyes, I never thought about contraception. But although there was physical intimacy, I don't think we ever achieved any emotional closeness. We didn't really talk: we just bounced around together while the curry was heating up on the gas ring. When I found I was pregnant, I took it for granted that Yatti would marry me. He didn't. His Brahmin high-caste family would have rejected me as grossly inferior. And since his loyalty to family was paramount, he cold-shouldered me. I returned home at the end of term to tell Mother, fantasising that I'd go off and live in a caravan in the middle of a field with my baby. After we'd discussed this realistically, she sorted out an illegal abortion that was performed with skill, tact and understanding in my own bedroom by an obstetrician friend of hers. My father, who sold tweeds for a living, assisted. I felt incredibly guilty at what I'd done to my parents. And Yatti?

He took a part-time job with the railway, so every time I bought a ticket to London, I had to confront him through the booking-office hatch. We never spoke again, except about tickets. I met the man who was to become my husband on a plane. I was still a student and had decided to spend a summer working in America. The man seated next to me, I learned, was the president of the Oxford students' debating union. We talked a lot, but the motion of the plane soon made him feel sick. From then on, he vomited on and off — fortunately fairly quietly — until we reached New York. All the same, he managed to do a pretty good job of relaxed wooing. That was my first encounter, in 1950, with Uwe Kitzinger. Trend setter: The late Diana, Princess of Wales, may have been much criticised by some, but her contribution to reclaiming birth for women actually kick-started radical changes in hospitals He had blond hair that flopped over his broad brow, and the nicest smile I'd ever seen. He was also that rare student — an intellectual who was charming and who delighted in female company. Back in Oxford, he asked me out to dinner.

Apparently, I spoke so enthusiastically about my experiences in America, waving my arms about, that he was hooked. I was hooked, too. The months after I met Uwe were days of wine and roses. We walked along the river Isis, made nests in the long grass and explored the finer arts of petting. After getting a First, he was offered a diplomatic post in Strasbourg. We wrote to each other all winter. Finally, we married on October 4, 1952, in a simple ceremony at the Quaker Meeting House in St Giles, Oxford. The whole morning was a rush. The gynaecologist I'd consulted about contraception had refused to give it to me until the day of my wedding, so I had to dash across Oxford in my finery to collect it before the ceremony. Uwe and I didn't exchange rings — I suppose because they hold a hint of bondage, and it seems to me that if you're indissolubly linked with another human being, it's not necessary to demonstrate it formally. Then Uwe went back to Strasbourg and I returned to Edinburgh, where I was doing academic research. At the end of every term, I travelled to Strasbourg, where we made love intensively.

Two years later, I had a miscarriage. The only thing to do was accept it and nestle in bed for a while with detective novels. Uwe was now often off to other countries, leaving me wherever I was based at the time, so the relationship was kept fresh. We were never a couple to 'settle down'. I was in Strasbourg when I was preparing to give birth for the first time in 1956. As a 'diplomatic wife', I felt under pressure to conform. But when I looked round the two possible hospitals, I was horrified to discover that mothers had to follow instructions and accept whatever was proposed. The Catholic hospital even had a high, flat, delivery table opposite an enormous painting of Christ on the cross, with blood pouring out of his wounds. The message for the mother was: 'You're suffering incredible pain, but Christ was in greater agony. Endure your pain in a Christ-like spirit. There's no escape.

This is your cross.' It was the first active royal birth — a complete contrast to the Queen's reflection that, with modern anaesthesia, birth had become 'a sleep and a forgetting' The answer, I decided, was to give birth at home with a midwife who knew how to help women labour as spontaneously as possible. Friends, however, told me I was behaving 'like a peasant'. I read everything I could find about birth. I was convinced that I could do it in my own way, in my own time. I couldn't wait! As it was, when I went into labour, I made straight for the bath and soaked happily in warm water. This was long before the vogue for water births. I was exultant. It was like jumping into a river and finding that I could swim after all. I could do it! There was nothing unfamiliar; nothing that I couldn't handle. Once out of the bath, I helped Uwe get the room ready. We made the bed, boiled the water and rang the midwife. Then, holding on to a bulbous table leg, I bent my knees, rocking and tilting my hips as each contraction built up.

I'd never been any good at games at school, yet working with my body I was able to dance my way through labour. I suddenly thought: 'Wow! This is a sport I can do!' When the midwife came in, she told me to push. Push? I didn't want to push, but she threatened to cut me if I didn't, so I took a deep breath. The baby, whom we called Celia, was gorgeous. The birth had taken three hours. That was the beginning of my commitment to understand the spontaneous and unforced rhythms of the second stage of labour; and to learning how women could give birth without fighting their bodies — and do so without injury. I read everything I could find about birth. I was convinced that I could do it in my own way, in my own time. I couldn't wait! The amount of ignorance surrounding childbirth was extraordinary. Back in the UK, when Celia was about nine weeks old, the health visitor called round and asked what I was feeding her. Breast milk, I said. 'You need to give her mashed brains,' she said. I told her that I was a vegetarian. She was horrified.

'If you don't give her any brains, she won't develop any,' she said authoritatively. My daughter is now a professor of sociology at York University. When Celia was nine months old, I discovered I was pregnant again. One day, six weeks before the baby was due, my GP carefully palpated my abdomen and commented: 'I think I feel two heads.' My first thought was I was having a two-headed baby, but then I realised what she was saying. It took a week or so to get over the shock. Now that I was having twins, I knew I'd be expected to give birth at a big teaching hospital. But when I went to its antenatal clinic, the women were all laid out on examining tables in open cubicles like carcasses of meat. I wasn't going to have my babies there if I could help it. This was my body, my birth, my babies. By then, I was already teaching childbirth classes for what later became the National Childbirth Trust. If I didn't organise my own babies' birth, how could I expect other women to do so? I went into labour at home one night.

As I waited for the midwife to arrive, I focused on the easy, rhythmic tightening in my body; like ocean waves. The first baby was caught by the midwife in a roll of cotton wool as she hadn't had time to open her bag. Then I felt a thud in the small of my back as the next baby dropped down. It had been just one-and-a-half hours since I'd awoken. Uwe took pictures of everything. This was at a time when women in birth photographs were commonly shown with their faces blacked out. The twins, Tess and Nell, were born on a Sunday, and on Thursday my NCT class turned up to find the bump gone and two babies waiting to greet them. Two years later, I had a fourth daughter, Polly, in a painful, triumphant 40-minute labour. Afterwards, I decided to write about the joy of birth, and how to work with the contractions that sweep through the body. Though painful, they're exciting: a bit like surfing. Why can't all other women feel this exhilaration, too, I thought. Why do they approach birth as if it were a road accident?

Six weeks later, with Polly at my breast in the early mornings, I began writing The Experience Of Childbirth. I had no agent but had heard of the publisher Victor Gollancz — so I sent it off to him, along with several photographs of me giving birth. As it happened, our brother-in-law, Hilary Rubinstein, who was married to Uwe's younger sister, had a job at Gollancz and was summoned to the boss's office. Victor Gollancz was looking at him with apparent shocked disbelief. 'I have photographs of your sister-in-law's private parts on my desk,' he told Hilary. I'm grateful to them both for their courage. They decided to go ahead and publish, and the book sold well over a million copies. The whole experience was astonishing. The only thing that compares with having your first baby is giving birth to your first book. A Passion For Birth by Sheila Kitzinger is published by Pinter & Martin, £20. © 2015 Sheila Kitzinger.

P&P is free for a limited time only. Why 'good life' Felicity ditched her doctor One of the loveliest people I met through my work was the actress Felicity Kendal, who attended antenatal classes with her husband Michael Rudman, the theatre director. She was very like the character in her role in The Good Life: excited, bright-eyed and shining, and wanting birth to be as natural as possible. By the time we met, I'd been running classes for the National Childbirth Trust for years, as well as training teachers. She was a committed member of her group and missed only one meeting, when she was on holiday. As Felicity's due date came closer, she switched from her private specialist obstetrician and opted to have a midwife at the birth instead. The obstetrician had been unable to give satisfactory answers to her searching questions, and had told her that she wouldn't be allowed to move around freely in labour or submerge her body in water. In the end, Felicity had a joyful and triumphant birth — in her own space, and able to be upright and to do whatever she felt like doing.

She told me that I'd given her the courage to have the kind of birth she wanted 'in the face of doctors trying to shout me down'. I didn't teach Nigella Lawson, but I met her shortly after she gave birth to her last child. It was a meeting of minds. Nigella had opted for a home birth. She was still fresh from the experience: scented with breast milk, luminous, dewy-eyed, touched with the extra beauty of new motherhood. She spoke about the importance for her of giving birth in her own space, having those she loved around her, and of being free to move around and to make whatever sounds she wanted. For her, the birth of her child was as it should be — an outpouring of love.

BBC ON THIS DAY | 21 | 1982: Princess Diana gives birth to boy About This Site | Text Only 1982: Princess Diana gives birth to boy Diana, Princess of Wales, has given birth to a boy sixteen hours after checking in to St Mary's Hospital, in London. The boy, who has been named William, was born at 21:03 BST, weighing 7lb 1�oz. He is second in line to the British throne after his father the Prince of Wales, who accompanied Princess Diana to the hospital at 0500BST this morning and stayed with her throughout the day. Outside the hospital crowds had gathered to wait for news of the birth, with some saying they would wait through the night if necessary.

Flowers arrived all day long and were taken into the hospital. Thousands also gathered outside Buckingham Palace, where the birth was formally announced. 'Delighted' The Queen had continued with her scheduled programme, inspecting the RAF regiment on their 40th anniversary at Wittering in Cambridgeshire. A Palace official said she had looked "absolutely delighted" on hearing that the Princess had gone into labour. The Princess went into labour earlier than expected, but only by a few days. Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at St George's Hospital Medical School in London, Geoffrey Chamberlain, told BBC News the long labour period should not present cause for concern. He said: "Just over half of women expecting their first baby deliver inside 12 hours but another fifth go onto about 18 hours, and another fifth go even longer. "There is nothing abnormal with a labour going into 24 hours." The Queen's own surgeon gynaecologist, George Pinker, who has looked after the Princess throughout her pregnancy, was in charge of the delivery.
